Cape Tribulation Ozflux tower site

Data from the Cape Tribulation site, Far North Queensland.

The Cape Tribulation flux station is located in the Daintree forest at the Daintree Rainforest Observatory. It was established in 2001 and is managed by James Cook University.

The Cape Tribulation flux station is located at the Daintree Rainforest Observatory:
16? 6'11.22"S 145?26'48.90"E

The forest is classified as complex mesophyll vine forest, there are around 80 species in the core 1Ha, and average tree height is 22m. Elevation of the site is 157m and mean annual precipitation is 5440mm. The Daintree Rainforest is one of the most biodiverse forests in Australia.

The instruments are mounted on a crane tower at 45m. Fluxes of heat, water vapour and carbon dioxide are measured using the open-path eddy flux technique. Supplementary measurements above the canopy include temperature, humidity, windspeed, wind direction, rainfall, incoming and reflected shortwave radiation and net radiation.

The Cape Tribulation site is part of the FNQ Rainforest SuperSite : the Daintree node, which is part of the TERN Australian SuperSite Network.

This data set is under delayed release - the data will be released when Quality Control/Quality Assurance procedures have been completed, this will be achieved by 31/12/2013. Please request future access through the PI.

本数据集数据源自昆士兰州远北部的特里布尔申角（Cape Tribulation）观测站点。

特里布尔申角通量站坐落于丹翠雨林观测站（Daintree Rainforest Observatory）所辖的丹翠森林中，该站点于2001年建成，由詹姆斯·库克大学（James Cook University）负责运维管理。

特里布尔申角通量站具体坐落于丹翠雨林观测站，地理坐标为南纬16°6′11.22″、东经145°26′48.90″。

该区域森林被归类为复杂叶肉藤本林（complex mesophyll vine forest），核心1公顷样地内约有80个物种，平均树高22米。观测站点海拔为157米，年平均降水量达5440毫米。丹翠雨林是澳大利亚生物多样性最为丰富的森林之一。

观测仪器安装于45米高的起重机塔架之上。采用开路式涡动通量观测技术（open-path eddy flux technique），对热量、水汽与二氧化碳通量进行测定。林冠层上方的补充观测项目包括气温、相对湿度、风速、风向、降雨量、入射与反射短波辐射以及净辐射。

特里布尔申角观测站点隶属于昆士兰州远北部（Far North Queensland, FNQ）雨林超级站点的丹翠子节点，而该超级站点又是澳大利亚超级站点网络（TERN Australian SuperSite Network）的组成部分。

本数据集实施延期公开政策：需待质量控制与质量保证流程全部完成后，数据方可对外发布，相关工作预计于2013年12月31日前完成。未来如需获取数据，请通过首席研究员（Principal Investigator, PI）提出申请。
